Kentucky Comes Up Big In Ryder Cup

MikeSeptember 21, 2008

Congrats to the team from the U.S. of A. as they finally won back the Ryder Cup.

Congrats to Valhalla Golf Club. The excitement and the tremendous conditions and an American victory did wonders for the stature of that course. That has to now be the most “playable” Jack Nicklaus design ever.

Being a Kentuckian, I’m especially proud of Kenny Perry and J.B. Holmes. And, since we used to live on Pensacola Beach, we’ve spent enough time around Milton, Florida to know a lot of fine people like Boo Weekley.

I was at the Wednesday practice round and have some ball markers that’ll be kept in their cases til I can go 1 1/2 hours down the road to Country Creek in Franklin, Kentucky and have Kenny sign ’em.

Agreed- This year’s Ryder Cup was a gem. Hopefully Corey Pavin will be able to lead the U.S. to another victory next time. It will be tough accomplishing that in UK. If he can pull it off it may mean the U.S. is back in the thick of things.

I too would like to see something like Ryder Cup in Colorado 🙂 However, I don’t understand the comment about top golfers not playing there since 1960. The International has recently been canceled, but it ran for years with most of the top players showing up. Even Tiger came a couple of times, as I recall. I know he came one year because I saw him crush a tee shot on no. 9.
